It's Sunday!

Well folks, Jesus is alive and well and His Spirit dwells in us. This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. When we look around at the world, and all it's troubles, and even when we look at our own lives and troubles, we may be tempted to get down and out... but God wants to lift us up in Him.

Do I sound like I am excited? Because I am. I'm dancing right now (on the inside, evidently, I'm actually typing). I just wanted to make this short post right here in the middle of Sunday morning service, kids' choir practice, and Sunday evening service to tell you that God is doing some great and wonderful things and that He is on the move! This morning at Hope we had two brand new families, and two other families who returned after previously visiting. That's good news! That's enough good news to last me the rest of the week, but God never wants us to be satisfied, he wants us to continue to desire more from Him, so that is exactly what I am going to do. I want to see these families tonight! And I believe we will!

The Bible says they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they will mount up on wings as eagles, and they will run and not faint. I'm thankful that God stays true to his promise that if we wait for the promise, as Abraham did and as His followers in the upper room did, He will fulfill it. Today is proof of that.
